# Go to the folder where you’re keeping source code:
C:\Program Files\R\src\
# Open the git client and execute
git clone --recursive "http://github.com/hadley/stringr.git"
# In R, execute the install function with repos = NULL and using the entire path to the source directory:
install.packages(c("C:/Program Files/R/src/stringr"), type="source", repos=NULL)
# If all the dependencies are in place, it will work.
